The Players Choice Awards are voted on by players, while baseball writers conduct the AL Cy Young Award balloting that will be announced Nov. 18.

Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies was the top NL pitcher in the Players Choice Awards. He also earned NL honors in the Sporting News poll.

In just his second full Major League season, Price was 19-6 with an ERA of 2.72 and 188 strikeouts to help lead the Rays to the AL East title. He tied for second among all AL pitchers in wins and was third in ERA.

Hernandez posted just a 13-12 record with the run-challenged Mariners, but had a 2.27 ERA with 232 strikeouts.

Two more awards will be announced Friday for the Player of the Year in all of Major League Baseball as well as Man of the Year.

Player of the Year finalists are Carlos Gonzalez (Colorado), Josh Hamilton (Texas) and Joey Votto (Cincinnati). Man of the Year finalists are Torii Hunter (LA Angeles of Anaheim), Brandon Inge (Detroit) and Troy Tulowitzki (Colorado).
